Best Spa Orange County 2010 - Laguna Canyon Spa

There isn't a lack of spas in Laguna Beach, but unlike other ritzy, full-service spots, Laguna Canyon Spa has a homey, earthy vibe that makes clients feel utterly relaxed and comfortable. With its wooden floors, incense and tea, it makes you feel like you're closer to Bali than Buena Park. Without the uppity air or crowds of walk-in clients—or wildly expensive treatments (massages start at $85 for the 50-minute Skin Renewal Signature and top off at $125 for 90 minutes of anything from shiatsu to deep-tissue)—the place is designed to develop client loyalty. The seasoned staff is wholly made up of therapists who've had more than 1,000 hours of training. Not only that, but they also take the client through the treatment process from start to finish—they even greet you when you come in and book your appointments (no receptionists!). Sure, you can find a Thai yoga massage or pumpkin-peel facial elsewhere, but what makes this spa special is its emphasis on alternative methods of treatment and holistic healing. The spa offers various classes: yoga, Pilates, pranic healing, chakra clearing, crystal healing and more. And definitely try the Skin Renewal massage, in which the therapist works with the client to blend different massage techniques for maximum effect.

The best option is a mortar and pestle. This will help to crush the herbs, while allowing them to maintain their aromatic properties. Ultimately, it will help to maximize the effectiveness of the herbs as incense. On the other hand, you should definitely avoid using tools such as electric coffee grinders. The ultra-fast speed creates heat that causes the herbs to lose some of their aromas. Save those grinders for woods and of course-coffee.

Use fresh herbsAs when choosing plants for other applications, it's crucial that the herbs are as fresh as possible. This will maximize the fullness of the herbs' aromas. To ensure the freshness of the herbs, you could consider growing them yourself. However, if you don't live in an ideal environment for growing certain herbs, then you'll have to buy your herbs from a supplier. If you need to do that, then verify that the herbs supplied are as fresh as possible. Use the right tools to pulverize the herbs
